cows - a Jersey and a Holstein -
will be milked and bred at the
Contact Bam, a facility aimed at
bringing city folk and other non

assortment of farm animals.
Eastern General Manager

cooperative donated the cows
because of the educational value of
the Contact Barn and for the op

NEWARK, Del. - According to
the National Oceanic and At
mospheric Administration, about
200 people are killed by lightning
each year, thousands more are
injured, and property damage
exceeds $4OO million.
A lightning bolt typically carries
10 million to 100 million volts and
can reach temperatures in excess
of 50,000 degrees F. So when a
thunderstorm threatens, seek
shelter promptly in a house or
other large building, or inside an
all-metal vehicle, advises
University of Delaware extension
safety specialist Ron Jester.
“Remember that lightning is
attracted to the highest object in
the area of electrical buildup,” he
says, “so don’t stay where you’ll be
higher than the surrounding
landscape." For the same reason,
never take shelter under a tree -
standing tall in the sky, it serves as
an excellent lightning rod. If
shelter is not available, take
refuge in a ditch, a ravine or
similar depression in the ground.
Several other precautions can
help protect you from lightning,
the specialist says. Some of these

Precautions Avoid Tragedy
measures may be very familiar,
but, like everything else connected
with safety, an occasional review
never hurts.
• If you’re riding a horse when a
thunderstorm hits, dismount, drop
to your knees and bend forward in
a crouch, putting your hands on
your knees.
• If driving a car, stay inside -
the tires provide insulation. The
same is true when riding a tractor
or combine, but get the tools and
the header out of, or off of, the
ground. They’re excellent con
ductors of electricity. If you’re
working with farm equipment in
an open field, after getting the tool
bar, header, front end loader and
the like off the ground, get out of
the field!
• Stay clear of metal objects
such as metal windows, wire
fences or plumbing.
• If you are in tall timber, get to
an area of low brush, away from
the tallest trees.
• Stay away from power trans
formers and lines, as well as TV
and radio towers and antennas.
• Stay away from and out of
water. Do not swim during a
thunderstorm!
• Get off of and away from
motorcycles, golf carts, ana
bicycles.
• Indoors, stay away from open
doors, fireplaces, woodstoves and
windows.
• Don’t use the telephone. If you’re
talking when a thunderstorm hits,
hang up.
“Your chances of avoiding being
struck by lightning will be greater
if you keep in mind that it’s at
tracted to the higher objects in the
area where it is active. Avoid these
places,” Jester stresses.
If someone near you is struck by
lightning, you may need to ad
minister CPR (cardio pulmonary
resuscitation). Then get prompt
medical help for the victim. People
who are stunned, but otherwise
unhurt, should also see a doctor as
soon as possible. The physical
effects of a lightning strike are not
always obvious.
“Don’t become another victim of
an electrical storm,” says safety
specialist advises. “The next time
a thunderstorm strikes, don’t take
a chance. Act promptly to protect
yourself.”
